Kano death toll rises to 75

Police authorities in Kano State and some security sources on Tuesday gave different figures as casualties of the Monday suicide bomb blasts at an inter-state commercial bus park in Sabon-Gari, Kano.

While the security sources, who were among those taking a tally of the victims, said the death toll had risen from 30 to about 75, the Kano State Police Command gave a much lower number of 22.

The blasts, which injured scores of passengers, drivers, hawkers and visitors, also destroyed five Marco polo luxury buses. A Marco polo bus belonging to Gobison Motors had on board over 70 passengers when it was attacked by the suicide bombers as it was about departing the ever-busy park for Lagos.

One of the security sources, who did not give his name because he was not permitted to do so, told our correspondent that the death toll was high because the luxury buses were parked close to one another since they were to move in convoy.

“The luxury buses always travel in convoy for security reasons and this was why the casualty figure was high. They were parked close to one another. Most passengers in the first bus which might have had at least 70 passengers, including those that were given seats called ‘attachment’, died,” he said.

The officer explained that each of the buses had about 75 or more passengers.

“One of the suicide bombers must have timed the attack because he drove into the park and attacked the first bus when the five buses were filled up and were about to drive out in convoy to Lagos and that was why he (bomber) achieved a heavy casualty rate,” he said.

But the Kano State Police Command which put the casualty at 22, said that 65 persons, mostly passengers were injured.

The Commissioner of Police, Alhaji Musa Daura, told journalists in Kano that the attack was executed by two suicide bombers, who rammed their vehicle against one of the luxury buses.

He said, “Two suicide bombers drove a blue Volkswagen Golf into the luxurious bus motor park along New Road, Sabon Gari. They attacked and hit a loaded bus belonging to Gobison Motors which was taking off to Lagos and sparked off a serious explosion,’’

He said this caused the bus to burst into flames which affected passengers, hawkers, traders and workers at the park.

Daura confirmed that five buses were burnt during the incident, adding that, ‘‘fire- fighters immediately raced to the scene and the flames were put under control after which the whole area was cordoned off.’’

The police commissioner said those who survived the attack were currently receiving medical attention in hospitals in the city, while many corpses were deposited in the morgue.

He urged residents of the troubled city to remain calm and go about their normal business, adding that security agencies were committed to the protection of lives and property.

Daura also confirmed the killing of a policewoman by suspected gunmen on Tuesday morning.

He said the victim, who was attached to Zone 1, Headquarters of the police, was attacked while replacing the flat tyre of her car.

Residents of new bus station in Sabon Gari on Monday night deserted the streets to avoid arrest by security personnel who took over the motor park area and surrounding streets shortly after the incident.

Findings showed that some of the residents even left their homes after the blasts which shook the buildings in the area to their foundations.

Intercity drivers and commercial bus operators also left the park with their vehicles.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Interior, Abba Moro, has described the blasts as “callous , unwarranted and wicked.”

Moro, in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, George Udoh , said he was pained when he heard the news of the killing of innocent Nigerians by persons suspected to be Boko Haram members.

The minister “reiterated the need for prominent Nigerians, student union , civil society and religious groups as well as traditional institutions and professional bodies to voice out their resentment against the evil being perpetrated by members of the inglorious sect on the nation.

While condoling with the families of the blast victims, and the government and people of Kano State, the minister promised that the Federal Government would smoke out the perpetrators and expose their sponsors.

Also, the leader of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, warned that Ndigbo would be forced to defend themselves from the killings in various parts of the North.

He added that the Igbo had been pushed to the wall by the Boko Haram, adding that the people would have no option but to defend themselves.

Uwazuruike said, “The killings and other senseless activities against Ndigbo must not continue . I know that it was this type of massacre that brought about the first civil war in Nigeria; I am disappointed in our people, when they were being slaughtered, I brought out buses to bring them back home, but they chose to remain in the North.

“What I did was to safeguard their lives. But I want to advise President Goodluck Jonathan that there is a limit to everything. Ndigbo can no longer continue to allow themselves to be senselessly killed in the North. I must warn that Ndigbo are not cowards; they will react if pushed to the wall.”

Are they still making plans in abuja to celebrate the so called centennary anniversary of nigeria in 2014? There is obviously now a lot to celebrate abi????

Ignore those guys of barbaric sect, who are not proper yoruba, but a biological accident yorubas headed by Akeula taiwo.

Israel

Good day my brother, I was at third mainland bridge in Lagos as challenged by those blood thirsty, dirty and smelling Jihadist- Akeula, Abu Sadiq, Muyiwa, Taiye and Tancho from 1am to 3am, they did not appear, I will surely locate them. I may not be on the forum regularly or for so long because I had to resume my business activities, I was on a two months rest and refreshment. I devoted the time to carry out some researches on the problem of this nation and I have come to a conclusion that {1} Until religion is separated from state affairs, death penalty is placed as a law on anyone that killed in defense of any religion people that express their opinion freely, this wanton destruction of lives and property by Muslims will not end. {2} Death Penalty plus severe punish for all friends and family members of those the perpetrated and benefited from corruption {3} Digital drivers license, Vehicle numbers,house addresses, national ID with religion as a major part of the data{the Muslims has resisted this aspect all the year especially in the last national population census},deployment of radar, hightech long distance camera to decode the information in ID,PLATE NUMBERS, HOUSE NUMBER AND STREET SIGN POSTS for tracking of criminals and intelligence gathering{Not all those Chinese equipment they are using to steal money into Asia by government officials}. 4. Christians must stop sitting on the fence and waiting for angels to come and fight, where required God will instruct but until God speaks you must protect your lives and property from these children of Satan called Muslims.5. To avoid the greatest catastrophe and genocide in the history of mankind, United Nation can peacefully divide Nigeria along ethnicity and religious line. The Muslims in South West can take Osun and Oyo State with some part of Ogun State while Christians takes the remaining part, IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STAY AND LIVE WITH THESE VAGABONDS.

myto 23

you speak rubbish and you are only putting oil into fire. Dividing the country along religious line as suggested would it prevent you evil christians from doing crusade in muslim state. your suggestion is never the way forward fools

Priestley

So what is wrong with crusade? Only 1% of your brain is working otherwise why would say Christians are evil. If they are evil then you must know that muslims are trillion times worse.

very very soon all the northern Christians will locate where they choose to stay and have peace but where is Muslim state ? if i may ask are there any state in the nigeria no have Christians and Muslin ? but this thing you call nigeria will becoming breaking bottle soon very soon.

Mr Israel, You must have waited endlessly on the 3rd Mainland bridge for all those people you mentioned, including me. Why did you leave anyway?

Let me advise you. No man with an atum of arrogance in his heart, no matter how intelligent he feels he is in terms of speaking, or how reasonable his suggestion looks like to the people, will ever be regarded as a successful and eloquent crusader of any good cause. Because his arrogance will becloud his sense of reasoning and justice.
We can see that from all mindless and irrelevant explanations you are giving us about your daily official duties. Who really need all these from you? Do you think without you people would not have been having nice and pleasant days on this forum? What empty ego do you eagerly crave for that makes you see yourself as infallibe and indispensable?

You brag in the name of God as if God has been speaking with you face to face. No one ever knows what will happen to him/her in any second from now. You put forward suggestion about this sensitive security issue in this country in such a callous, mocking and vainglorious manner as if you are so much important to be reckon with. Please learn to speak as an intelligent fellow. Humble yourself to people if you should earn respect from them. Dont you ever think people show love to every truth-speaker the same way they show acceptance to every sweet-mouthed liar? Good day, Israel

Rhomax

Don’t even waste your breath on this man. Which sane person will be waiting on the third mainland bridge for total strangers between 1a.m to 3a.m? Or is there another third mainland bridge that I don’t know of?

So, it is Akeula Taiwo you are targeting to attack today? But Taiwo has neven been a supporter of B’Haram nor sympathetic to their devillish cause. Is it because he is a muslim? Is it because he opposes a wrong perception that since B’Haram seems to be fighting a senseless cause in the ‘camouflaged’ name of islam, then all other faithful and innocent muslims in your neighborhood and the entire nation are as well to be tagged B’Haramites? What sense does this make to you? Is that justice which we all cry for?

Bacause Mr Uche from Abia state is a kidnapper, then all other Uches, or the entire Ibos from Abia state should be seen as kidnappers? Or Mr Owolabi from Osun was caught a ritualist, then we should hold such stupid assumptions that all Owolabis or the entire Osun people are all ritualists? This is a stupidity of the highest order!

Killimanjaro, i will never, ever reason the way you chose to have been reasoning on this forum. My conscience will never forgive me for holding such prejudiced and biased opinion of innocent souls. Good day.

But when you are seen to be preparing to return apex political power to friends of Boko Haramists in 2015 through your Panadol merger, what do you expect someone to tell you?

Rhomax

The last I heard, Boko haram had more connection with PDP members. As far as I am concerned, any party but PDP will put a stop to the Boko haram menace.

mikkyduff

If PDP controls the Boko Haram activities in the north, from north West to North East, then the Inchoate Contraption (APC) brewed by the fraudster Jagaban and his Fiendish Alchemist Sheikh El Dracula Bokohari has a herculean task wresting power at the centre

How about splitting Nigeria into peaceable countries so that no group shall continue to regard the other as ENEMIES IN ONE COUNTRY? Have you seen any country stand when groups in the same country regard others as enemy?

It seems oil revenues from the creeks of the delta and Igboland may never allow people like you reason well any more.

oil revenue from evil land of biafra? !!! When did they start lifting crude from evil land of biafra (imo, abia, ebonyi, anambra and enugu). Earlier in 2011 or 2012, some oil is said to be found in imo land of evil but then Kase Lawal and two evil children of biafra Ndubuisi kanu or his son as I gathered and achike ndenwa really are at logger heads for anything to come off the find bcos they want it allocated not for federal govt to tap. That is d kind of breed that comes out of d evil land. I was surprised to see a Yoruba man trying to deal in d evil land of biafra but I think he got the message and backed off. So where in d evil land has one barrel of oil been lifted.

You are right. That’s why CIA’s prediction might just be it. But I wonder why those people who say they will make the country ungovernable for Jona, will not think well. It doesn’t seem right to frustrate GEJ and then think it will be alright when it comes to their turn. Even a little child knows it will be extremely difficult for that to happen. But it seems too late already.

These leaders should note that BH will soon consume them as well.

Uche Chike, you are one of the the senseless igbomen,who keeps creating problem for the igbos. Remmember what saul said to jonathan his son.Saul said to jonathan his son” what share do you have in the son of jesse?”.Exactly, what share does an Igboman have in the government of jonathan?People like you will talk anyhow and that is why Igbos are being attacked.Sensible people will call for amnesty so as to get to the root of this gboko haram, the igboman who is worst hit will say no, because his lack of education has deprieved him of reasoning. Azazi told the truth that gboko haram is PDP, which is government of the day,.After this revelation, he was retired by jonathan his kinsman and not quite long died.It shows that gboko haram is operating for PDP against 2015.Almighty God is watching..

IF WHAT THEY THINK IS TO BRING FEAR TO US… WELL NO MUCH COMMENT, BUT WANT TELL YOU THAT WHEN KILLINGS START IN THE NORTH, YOU YOURSELF WILL CALL FOR PEACE, BECAUSE FROM THERE, NIGERIA WILL DISINTEGRATE/SEPARATE WITHOUT A FUSS. NOT ONLY THE IGBOS OR SOUTHERNERS THAT BLEED BLOODS. EVEN THAT SULTAN OR EMIR YOUR USELESS KINGDOM WILL BLEEDS HIS OWN BLOOD SOON.

Jonathan recognized David as God’s anointed king and worked hard to support him especially seeing what David did for Israel. It has pleased God for Jonathan to be president and fighting or trying to dis-stabilize his government is a dis-service to God and those doing this havoc will pay for it. Remember some said that Jonathan will win the election but will not govern. Don’t you think that all these bombings and killings are distractions to his government.

Please do not bring tribalism or sectionalism to the whole. We should be living in a civilized world.

So igbos are illiterates Encyclopaedia? I sympathise with you and generations who think we can be intimidated by all these senseless killings to abandon Jonathan,i’m sorry for you.It is interesting that you people are playing into our hand,killing the same Oyinbo people that supplied you arms and mercenaries to fight during the civil war.
At least the whole world now know that nigeria can never live together in peace and next time soon they know what to do.Northern people and islam are twin evil plaguing nigeria but we shall overcome.You will never succeed in spreading your evil religion in the East, we are God’s people and will never join voodoo religion that thrives in the blood of women and children.You are helping us by forcing our recastrant people to move out or be killed,they were warned by Ikemba and Ohanaeze to stay out of the evil states in the north but they didn’t listen ,today chicken has come home for the roast.

A former security chief said Boko Haram has infiltrated the government and GEJ has not openly refuted that nor the police. All this targets the Igbo man with the greatest of respect. The Igbo man labours from nothing to something and invest in which ever part of the country he finds himself, yet they will not allow him rest. An Igbo man sold his hotel in Kano worth over 300million for 50 million recently just to relocate from Kano to Enugu. Enough of this ethnic cleansing. Chime, Obi, Okorocha, Kalu, Amechi, Uduaghan and Ebonyi, if you like fold you hands and watch. It could be your kinsman someday and if drastic action is not taken peace will not reign. No one has the exclusivity of arms.

GEJ should immediately call on the help of ARMY INTELLIGENCE from America or any other developed country who will help us to tackle this evil men and women of Nigeria. But by the way who are these morons of the evil deed? Who are their sponsor? Are they living in another planet, moving from their to the earth to perpetrate these evils?

hammerhouseofhorror

the leader of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, warned that Ndigbo would be forced to defend themselves from the killings in various parts of the North…
Though not Ibo but I witnessed the defence scenario at Kano years ago. It really put the orgy of violence in check…..but albeit for some time. When will my bros. from the north learnt that nobody has the prerogative to violence

This should be the most pressing issue contending for the President’s attention and not sitting down to deliberate on how to grant pardon to looters and devourers.

ORNGU TA

These trite expressions should better be expunged from the lexicon of Nigerian leadership: ” we are top on the situation”, ” remain calm and go about your normal business”, ” it is unfortunate” and many of the ilk. They hurt more than the deed itself. How can a Police Commissioner be telling Kano residents to ” remain calm and go about their normal businesses” in the face of all these brutal attacks on them? Everything is under alarm, ther is no cause for control in Kano! And this is largely due to the failure of intelligence, an intelligence network that does not work at preventing crime; an intelligence system that rushes after the deed to harass innocent victims.

I Quote “He urged residents of the troubled city to remain calm and go about
their normal business, adding that security agencies were committed to
the protection of lives and property.”

The people killed were going about their normal business and you stupid security did nothing to protect them. The only thing you live and die for is N20. Fools

Abayomi Tolu

guess he forgot

Bet our dear president will be willing to give the sponsors and perpetrators of this unholy act a presidential pardon if they just will apologize and say we won’t do it again. they could even go on courses abroad

What a jungle,75 innocent people is enough to set any viable nation into full scale war but unfortunately Nigeria never existed.No wonder no nation on the face of the earth regard us or want to have anything to do with us.
How come Kwankwosa is not talking?,my eye is on that guy seriously..

Okoko

Police are economical with the truth on the casualty. With the magnitude of destruction seen at the scene of the bomb blast, I would even say that the casualty may be above 100.

Rock

…fire- fighters immediately raced to the scene and the flames were put under control… we can see it from the picture.

(The Police commissioner urged residents of the troubled city to remain calm and go about their normal business, adding that security agencies were committed to the protection of lives and property) You expect a sensible human being to believe you huh? 4 loaded luxury buses and you call the death toll 20? what about passerby and hawkers who clinged to the buses selling wares

We have seen that the government of Nigeria have no solution to this problem.
Let the Service Chiefs of Nigeria be retired and let those that can handle the situation be put in place.
Also, the President should take a cue from the past Pope and resign; it is more honourable than for him to be unpertubed, so to say.
Finally, if possible, let the residents of such area so affected take the bull by the horn and revolt against the sect; they are not invincble , they reside amongst them.
Thanks.

There is nothing that has begining that doesn’t have an end. This country mustn’t go in to civil war.all patrotic Nigerian should rise up for prayers,support the securities to fish this wicked people out and their sponsors

Priestley

The north are one on this so who will support the security to fish them out? Remember the first time this started, there was jubilation in the streets of Kano. Are you telling me that if they form vigilantes they won’t be able to chase the few terrorist away from their area. These murderers live, eat and play with these people. So I believe, the northern leaders know those behind this insurgence.

Big-Ben

Mr Minister of Interior. How long will it take the Federal Government to smoke out the perpetrators of these dastardly acts and expose their sponsors. Is it when all the IBOS in the north have been killed by those uncircumcised and illitrate arabs. For your information, their sponsors are known.They are (1) sultan of sokoto, (2) Atiku Abubakar, (3) Senator Ndume to mention but a few and all their political and evil religious leaders because they said it before the 2011 general elections that they will make the country ungovernable for President Jonathan if he contest and win the election, so which other sponsors are you and your coward President are looking for. GOD please save us from these uncirmcised phillistines.

Priestley

I agree with Ralp, but how many times have we said enough is enough? I can’t count how many times this type of gruesome murder have happened and all we hear is enough is enough. I believe this will happen again and we will hear the same rhetoric. Igbos need practical solution to this constant killings that have gone unchallenged. It pays to say nothing than to continue warning the murderers, who don’t think you are serious.

The flacon cannot attend to the falconer,
Things have fallen apart and the center can no longer hold
Serious anarchy is loosed upon Nigeria”….. (emphasis mine)
Thank to Dr. Chinua Achebe.

With the insurgence violence and wanton destructing of lives, I think is high time Jonathan be bold enough to confront Buhari in order to explain his thoughts and hope, when he said that he will make the country ungovernable. There has never been smoke without fire.
Okrika wake up!

kunle

If it can take president Jonathan with all his powers more than 3 years & thousands of wasted lives to man up and confront Buhari then it is no use having such a person heading even a home, much less a country of 100+million people. No need for election, let him resign and hand over to Buhari.

IT was a tale of pains and anguish as survivors of the Monday bomb attack on luxury buses in Kano recounted their experiences. Narrating his experience, Yisau Ibrahim, a bus conductor at the motor park, who was wreathing in pains on his hospital bed, said, “I have lost my nose, I also have a deep gorge in my stomach. I am now placed on drips. I am in severe pains. I may die any moment from now, only God will avenge what these people have done to me, I will never forgive them.” Not done, Ibrahim rained curses on the attackers, saying, “the people responsible for my ordeal would never know peace. I did not commit any offence. If I had offended them, I would have apologised to them.” YET SOME WANT BUHARI- TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE FULANI NORTH-TIME FOR US TO SPLIT BIKO

mikkyduff

Late Muamar Qaddafi looked for people to govern while Sheikh El Dracula Bokohari is expending with his people. tale of two people

TIME TO TALK

It is a big shame to the Northern politicians and their religious leaders that they are playing politics with the life of innocent Nigerians thinking that God will not pay them back severely?. The North will seek for another Colonial masters if Nigeria divides because they are still backward in terms of development and education and the little that they have are being destroyed foolishly by the sect.

It pains me so much when they cry for power when their years as president of Nigeria were just a huge waste to the entire nation. Even the mobile network we have today is during Obasanjo . The truth is that the sense of the North was exchanged to Land mass so I think the South were given the true knowledge and blessing of Leadership.

aremu omo oba

Its so sad, that Nigerian governments cannot look after Nigerian, that shows we don’t have government but looters parading themselves as leaders.. May GOD helps us all.

moshe D

Kano and Bornu state should be declared state of emergency imm. These governors should be arrested trIed and jaIled In the south south bcos they are fully aware and in support of what is going on in their states. Otherwise I see other regions of this great country visiting same horror on Hausa fulani Moslem north. Thanks

kiki nabil

Why are we still holding ourselves together as if it is a curse?Boko haram said they want to be named republic of islamic state.why not split and the twelve NE and NW states take their leave?for how long shall we continue to watch innocent people die mysteriously in bokos”hands?Don’t you think late Gadaffi”s statement which he said if we want peace, we should divide the country into two is most appropriate?.The muslim in the north separate, while christians in the south. I remember that Most of our senators insulted him calling him all sort of names crazy mad powerdrunk etc.But the question is this>Is Gadaffi”s statement not relevant in our present predicament? Let”s have a rethink.since the federal govt is reaching out its hand for the perpetrators of this acts to come out of their hidding for a reasonable dialoque and yet, they are not ready to do so.What then is the solution to this.Obviously the Federal govt can not grant armnesty to faceless person neither can it dish out money to rehabilitate ghosts.Any sensible person can not do that we know.Please let”s put and end to this wanton killings.

mikkyduff

They still want to milk the nation dry ala the 83% Oil Block allocation before the split

Opi

I agree with you, Comrade Toju. All this bloodshed and calamities will rest on GEJ and his descendants, born and unborn. If he had governed the country with love, equity & justice, none of these will be happening.

Miss no name

Y did they reduce d number of people dat was kiiled now?God will punish them Boko Haram and their sponsorer

Thor

Myopic mindsets, do you fink boko haram will just end like dat?? Has it ended in Irag dat has all the american equipment ? Dese are tools of the northern extreme islamists and they are getting some gullible mindsets to reason along with dia falsehoods. Has all dose islamic countries where they bomb dia fellowers??? Well its not easy to stop terrorism wen the terrorists are your citizens. Amnesty is even a bigger joke to talk of now. My own if dey kill 29 kill 150 of them. And jtf is good in doing just dat.

ucheke

Don’t mind them, they stupidly believe that President Jonathan, or indeed, any other leader, can stop Islamic terrorism in Nigeria very soon. The lust for oil revenues has made them lose sense of reality. They no longer understand that the ideal thing now is to let the Jihadists in the 12 northern states form their own country – Gideon Okar was more foresighted than all of them.

VIETNAM

PRESIDENT GOOD LUCK JONATHAN TAKE NOTE,PEOPLES THAT MADE YOU TO BE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN KILLED

TEMI

where are the faces of those demanding for amnesty for those Islamic rams called boko haram.

ola

If president Jonathan can genuinely strive to wipe off this boko haram before the end of this 2013.,, I can reconsider him for 2015. I will also be grateful to God Almighty.
God please let your Kingdom come in our dear country Nigeria. , save our soul
Amen.

Charles, Port Harcourt

In 1914 Nigeria was amalgamated. By 2014 instead of a centenary celebration,
Nigerians should be given the opportunity to vote in a referendum either to be
De-amalgamated or remain amalgamated. Enough of these barbaric killing of
innocent souls.

Frank C.E.

Please let this illusion happen and let’s see how it ends.The illusion that when they make the country ungovernable for Jonathan,he’ll throw in the towel for them to ascend the throne. Boko haram is a monster created by IBB,Atiku,Lai Mohammed, Bola Tinubu,Adamu Ciroma et al with the sole aim of destabilizing Jonathan’s government and may be forcing themselves on the people,and it is the height of illusion for any one to think that he will ascend the sit of power with the help of boko haram and sit comfortably to rule.Such a person will be the most miserable being on earth.The way things are going,or rather the extent things have gone;GEJ is surely the last president that will rule the country called Nigeria.

Angryman

This is the time for CAN to compile a list of all those affected by Boko Haram violence, and present it to the President for compensation for failing to protect the law abiding citizens of Nigeria
This is worse than Oddi
If the Executive refuses then CAN should head to the courts
I will also advise that a law be promulgated that in every state there is violence of this nature compensation for those affected should be deducted from the allocation to such states
People have been getting away with wanton destruction of lives and property with impunity for too long

okpo

so the yoruba muslim also are sympathetic to boko haram, sory for tis mere geographical expression call Nigeria emphasis Awolowo

I hope the concerned authorities in Nigeria should converg well-meaning elders inNigeria to chart new way out of this predicament. Everybody is tired. We need answers to some pertinent questions that bother on our existence as a nation since about a century ago.
